Charities in Iowa

Overview

Iowa has 18,271 registered charities on the current register extract, of which 5,409 reported income in their latest return. Together they reported $19.95bn of income. The median charity took in $166k, while the largest tenth reported $3.0m or more, so a typical donation goes to a far smaller organisation than the household names at the top of this list.

Income is concentrated: the ten largest charities account for 32% of the total. Across the whole group, 291 charities have a note from the register, such as overdue accounts or three years of spending above income, and those notes are shown on each charity's page.

1,919 of the charities with reported income (35%) took in under $100k a year. Pages for the 3,780 charities with several years of accounts include their full income history, a comparison with similar-sized peers and a breakdown of where the money comes from.
